Is caring for the environment important to you?

Raising animals outside and on pasture has many benefits.  One benefit to raising animals on pasture is that there is no need to give them preventative antibiotics.  Confinement operations use antibiotics as a preventative measure because the environment is conducive to bacteria.  Also by not giving our chickens and turkeys antibiotics, this means that we are not aiding in causing "superbugs", or strains of bacteria that are resistant to antibiotics.  By not giving our chickens arsenic (yes, this is widely practiced in confinement operations to increase the appetite and improve feed conversion of chickens) we are not putting junk into our soil (we have no idea the implications this could cause for future livestock raised on the same ground, let alone the vegetables we eat, but it surely can't be good...it's arsenic after all!). 

Besides producing a really healthy meal and really healthy eggs, pastured poultry helps in maintaining and improving our environment.  Chickens and turkeys can graze along-side other pasture-raised animals such as our Icelandic sheep, dairy goats, and donkeys.  In fact cross-grazing chickens with other animals helps to cut down on the parasite burden of the other animals, which makes for healthier animals all around.  The poultry droppings that are left behind are just the right Ph to immediately begin improving the soil, needed in turn to grow nutritious pastures for feeding chickens, sheep, goats, donkeys and any other animals that are pasture-raised.  There you have it full-circle.  To support growing practices that care and improve the environment place your order now.
